Chevron sees higher profit
SAN RAMON, Calif. Chevron (CVX) expects fourth-quarter earnings to be "notably higher" than third-quarter profit.
The company said Thursday that its fourth-quarter results will be helped by bigger gains on asset sales and more oil and gas production.
- Lower production, prices hurt Chevron profit
- Chevron expects earnings to be "substantially lower"
